Personal advice from an 18 year old? Who knows, maybe it's worth it, but
I feel that you should follow neither. If it's a case of whether to
settle or not then obviously it's not everything you're looking for.
It's a big world. Very big. Almost seven billion people. Never settle,
and never feel that you are second rate and that who you love must be
too. Love who makes your heart skip a beat, not who your friends say you
should. Love who makes you smile and laugh, not who MTV and Oprah say
you should. Most of all; Love who you love, and who loves you, becuase
in the end, after all family, and all friends are gone, you only have
the one you love.

New here and I gotta say, Kojack, great common sense and respect.
Amazingly, there are a lot of people out there who just don't get it.
